We carry it all with us and it can make people stuck. This program is about digging deep and evaluating what areas of our lives are we mentally and emotionally stuck. What is holding us back? Is it fear, pride, embarrassment, low self esteem, anger, or addictions etc. In this program people learn to stop relying on themselves, because we tend to get ourselves into trouble. We encourage participants to start relying and trusting in a higher power, God. We offer lessons to help people discover what is weighing them down, how to start trusting and listening God. We meet them where they are and work towards healing and freedom. This program is not a quick fix, it takes time and commitment from people. It's completely free, come as you as you.

Ongoing: Celebrate Recovery for Women in Presque Isle Celebrate Recovery is a Christ centered 12 step program! All walks of faith are welcome! We believe that many people are facing many obstacles caused by hurts, habits, and hang ups. All of us of are effected by our life experiences, positive and negative. We carry it all with us and it can make people stuck. This program is about digging deep and evaluating what areas of our lives are we mentally and emotionally stuck. What is holding us back? Is it fear, pride, embarrassment, low self esteem, anger, or addictions etc. In this program people learn to stop relying on themselves, because we tend to get ourselves into trouble. We encourage participants to start relying and trusting in a higher power, God. We offer lessons to help people discover what is weighing them down, how to start trusting and listening God. We meet them where they are and work towards healing and freedom. This program is not a quick fix, it takes time and commitment from people. It's completely free, come as you as you. We have weekly meetings at Framework Church in Presque Isle, ME! Meetings are for women at this time. Address is 387 Centerline Road, Presque Isle, ME. Meetings are every Thursday 6:30pm-8:00pm!
